So today it happened. The break-thru day.

It started with Jon Ludwig leading a BRILLIANT master class in teamwork and puppet work – After that everyone was grounded, positive and ready to work. We tackled one of the giant scenes of the show, and it actually came to together – as well as any scene can the first time you do it – but good, and funny, and clear. Truly, Ludwig’s work was amazing today, and set the tone for the rest of the day and the rest of the puppet process.

Though, the main success of the day was that we staged our Falstaff battles Shark and Octopus scene, Domenique’s daughter Zoe (who is 9) watched a run of it, and thought it was very funny, and then spent an hour afterwards playing with the Shark. If 9 years old think we’re funny, we’re in.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the classic Falstaff battles Shark and Octopus scene – well, you may be reading an outdated version of the script.
